Anna Chang

Playboy Muse, December 2001

Anna Chang Bio

Anna Chang is an American Glamour and nude model. Born Anna Rose Chang on April 19, 1977, in Los Angeles, California, she has also been credited as Anna Rose Xavier. She appeared as a Playboy Muse in December 2001 at 24. Her appearance came in the 2000s, as Playboy's print tradition began to share space with an expanding online presence.

Chang has enhanced breasts, brown eyes and brown hair. Her measurements are 33-24-35.

Anna Chang already had a history with Playboy by the time she became a Muse in December 2001. Her connection with the magazine stretched back several years, including an appearance in Playboy’s Book of Lingerie in January 1998 — exactly the kind of sultry Special Editions assignment that made the late-1990s Playboy universe such fertile ground for memorable glamour models.

The Book of Lingerie was a natural home for Chang’s polished pin-up appeal. Playboy’s lingerie editions offered a slightly different flavor from the monthly Playmate pictorials, built around fantasy, fashion and the playful art of revealing just enough. Chang’s appearance placed her firmly within that classic Playboy tradition before the magazine’s expanding digital world created new ways for models to return.

By December 2001, Chang was back in the Playboy spotlight as a Muse. The appearance gave her another chapter with the brand, connecting the glossy Special Editions era of the late 1990s with Playboy’s increasingly diverse model features at the beginning of the new millennium.

Away from Playboy, Chang is also connected to the Southern California music scene through her marriage to Brad “Daddy X,” frontman of the Kottonmouth Kings. It is an appropriately rock-and-roll connection for a model whose Playboy work belongs to an era of lingerie pictorials, alternative style and turn-of-the-millennium glamour.

With relatively little additional biographical material available, there is no need to invent a larger story around Chang. Her documented Playboy record already gives her a neat place in the magazine’s history: Book of Lingerie model in 1998, Playboy Muse in 2001, and a familiar face from the period when Playboy glamour was moving from the newsstand into a new digital age.
